Library, Leisure Centre & Swimming Pool ALL at Risk
Shropshire Council has to make enormous savings in their budget to remain solvent. They are asking Town Councils to assist them financially next year to keep libraries, leisure centres and swimming pools open.
All these services are at risk of closure next year, unless this financial assistance is provided.
Church Stretton Town Council is consulting with local residents to find out if they would support an increase in next year’s precept to help save these services in Church Stretton.
We have produced background information about this consultation which you might find useful to read.
Friends can – and will – try to increase the amount of money we raise each year. However, we cannot raise all the money that is likely to be required by Shropshire Council on our own. We need the Town Council to also contribute.
Please bear this in mind when completing the Town Council Consultation.
Copies of the survey are being delivered to households by the Town Council over the next few days. Completed surveys can be left in the library, leisure centre, town council offices & Vines.
You can also complete the survey online on the Town Council website here.
Closing date of the consultation is 7th October
